...infection has caused him to have infections which led to double pneumonia, bone infection and congestive heart failure.? Having spent almost all of his life savings, George Ott had to live with his daughter until he went into the hospital for open heart surgery. Ironically, her father?s cancer is now in spontaneous remission. (Dr. Kurt Donsbach, the founder of Hospital Santa Monica, declined requests for an interview.) Lori Ferguson says Donsbach has not returned any of the $12,000 he was paid by the family, saying that customers had to sign a release saying they won?t talk...

Ferguson says her father soon faced a more dangerous fate starting on the first day of his hospital stay. ?They inserted a catheter,? she says, ?and his health...
...King's official cause of death is listed as cardio-respiratory failure, cerebral vascular illness and ovarian cancer, with her heart and lung failures owing in part to the stroke. Her cancerous condition had not been previously made public, and she was diagnosed last fall, according to family friends. That condition, deemed inoperable by doctors consulted in the United States, led King's family to check her into an alternative medicine clinic in Mexico on January 26 under an assumed name. No funeral or memorial arrangements had been announced, as King's family escorted her body back to Atlanta early...
